You can zip any kind of files on a Mac to save yourself some storage space. Here's how to zip a file on Mac, and compress many files into a zip file.

Zip files compress your folders or files and save storage on your computer. They're also easier to send from device to device. Here's how to make one.

Make sure your zip file name doesn't include spaces or periods. Finally, hit Compress. The Files app will create the zip file and save it in the same location as the original file.
